L'avis des experts

James Suckling:

A linear and refined red with sweet berry, cherry, wildflower, lavender, rosemary flower and citrus undertones that follow through to a medium body with firm, fine tannins. Cream, pretty and spicy. Similar flavors on the finish. Second wine of Seña, made from two estates. A blend of 33% malbec, 25% syrah, 21% cabernet sauvginon, 9% petit verdot, 7% mourvedre and 5% grenache. Drink after 2027.

The Wine Advocate:

A unique blend of 33% Malbec, 25% Syrah, 21% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Petit Verdot, 7% Mourvèdre and 5% Grenache, aged 18 months in French barrique, the 2022 Rocas de Seña is a vibrant introduction to the Seña winemaking style, accurately displayed in the poised, graceful style this wine delivers. The nose is fresh and lively with a savory, herbal background, introducing a suave, precise, plush palate. While this is juicier and less tensely structured than the Seña itself, there is no lack of bracing tension that props up and elongates the finish. This is a beautiful and overperforming wine with a singular identity.

Decanter:

Very poised and approachable without loss of complexity and nuance. The verticality of the tannic structure along with the firm acid line keep the lusciousness of the rich plum, bramble and ripe cranberry fruit in check, while allowing it to be on full display, beautifully framed and well defined. Refreshing Mediterranean herbs and juicy black olives add a seductive savouriness. Blood orange juice creates a refreshing streak throughout and brings the minerality of the tannins into focus. Long finish with lingering pepper, cardamom and thyme.
